Anybody can attest to the fact Filipinos love to eat, and unfortunately for us, food cravings know no time. It’s probably for these very reasons that 24-hour restaurants exist, especially in the city where the lines between late nights and early mornings can get blurry. So, in case you find yourself on the streets after-hours, hoping to find a cure for your hangover or hunger pangs, here are some places you can stop by for delicious and satisfying grub. You’re sure to find their doors open.

Open all day for those who are in need of comfort food, sobering up, and everything else in between, Recovery Food is a 24-hour restaurant for no-fail, good food. In case you haven’t found yourself in one of those situations that we mentioned, just drop by all the same and treat yourself. The Tapa de Morning works wonders on everyone, inebriated and otherwise, and is just the tapsilog that you don’t know you need, but actually do. In case you need more convincing, Recovery Food is by the same group behind Mamou, which is the source of some of Manila's best steak and pancakes.
